notifications: untangle notification access check This removes a broken permission check when viewing notifications (the HasRepoPermissionAny object was created, but never actually called with a repo_name argument as required). It would be non-trivial to actually implement the check, as notifications don't track their repository relationship explicitly, and even then, it's unclear why it would make sense to allow a repository admin to see notifications to other users. It was never a vulnerability, due to a subsequent (and much stricter) ownership check, which remains but has been untangled for readability. In short, this changeset is a pure refactoring, except that specifying a non-existent notification ID will now produce error 404, not 403.

Debugging Kallithea
===================

If you encounter problems with Kallithea, here are some instructions
on how to debug them.

.. note:: First make sure you're using the latest version available.


Enable detailed debug
---------------------

Kallithea uses the standard Python ``logging`` module to log its output.
By default only loggers with ``INFO`` level are displayed. To enable full output
change ``level = DEBUG`` for all logging handlers in the currently used .ini file.
This change will allow you to see much more detailed output in the log file or
console. This generally helps a lot to track issues.


Enable interactive debug mode
-----------------------------

To enable interactive debug mode simply comment out ``set debug = false`` in
the .ini file. This will trigger an interactive debugger each time
there is an error in the browser, or send a http link if an error occurred in the backend. This
is a great tool for fast debugging as you get a handy Python console right
in the web view.

.. warning:: NEVER ENABLE THIS ON PRODUCTION! The interactive console
             can be a serious security threat to your system.
